Isaías 18,1-7
Chapter XVIII.
1 God in care of his people will destroy the Ethiopians. 7 An accesse thereby shall grow vnto the Church.
1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the riuers of Ethiopia:
2 That sendeth ambassadours by the sea, euen in vessels of bulrushes vpon the waters, saying; Goe yee swift messengers to a nation [ Or, outspread and polished.] scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto, [ Or, a nation that meteth out, and treadeth downe. Hebrew: a nation of line line, and treading vnderfoote.] a nation meted out and troden downe; [ Or, whose land the riuers despise.] whose land the riuers haue spoiled.
3 All yee inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see yee, when hee lifteth vp an ensigne on the mountaines; and when he bloweth a trumpet, heare yee.
4 For so the Lord sayd vnto me: I will take my rest, and I will [ Or, regard my set dwelling.] consider in my dwelling place like a cleare heate [ Or, after raine.] vpon herbes, and like a cloud of dew in the heate of haruest.
[Against Ethiopia, and Egypt.]
5 For afore the haruest when the bud is perfect, and the sowre grape is ripening in the flowre; hee shall both cut off the sprigges with pruning hookes, and take away and cut downe the branches.
6 They shalbe left together vnto the foules of the mountaines, and to the beasts of the earth: and the foules shall summer vpon them, and all the beastes of the earth shall winter vpon them.
7 In that time shall the present be brought vnto the Lord of hostes, of a people [ Or, outspread and polished, etc.] scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and troden vnder foote, whose land the riuers haue spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hostes, the mount Zion.
